Sonic showing up on the Radar - Open

(Open RP btw for all who see this XD)

Zach was currently just walking through the crowds of Radius, using his cane to help guide himself through despite his mutations allowing him to see where he was going just fine.

only problem was there was a lot of noise from the crowd and it threw him off of balance a little, so used his cane to both support him if he lost his footing and to encourage people to move out of his way.

Zach couldn't help but smile a little, being blind has its advantages.

He'd only just finished a small assassination, something to scare the bosses of a small gang, not one of the Big Merc gangs....He had more brains than a Jellyfish thank you very much. He knew very well that he wasn't in that sort of League yet. He was teaching himself everything he knew through trial an error. Those gangs got near professional training.

Zach pushed his blue Mohawk out of his eyes, despite their sightlessness, and wasn't paying a great deal of attention to where he was going as his mind wandered off onto what he'd be eating tonight and whether he should check on his funds or not, and where he'd be getting his next job.

Zach yelped as he was taken down, and quickly moved so he was the one to fall first and made sure the other wouldn't get too hurt.

He grunted softly as he was winded and just about avoided hitting his head as he landed.

taking a moment to catch his breath, he looked up at whoever was on top of him and arched an eyebrow.

"you okay?" he asked, voice low and gravelly from lack of use. he wasn't the type to speak a lot. "I apologise. I should have paid better attention." he said, his voice creating enough noise for him to see the features of the other's face distinctly enough. "that being said, please can you get off of me? people are staring." he murmured with a tiny smile

idly, his hand moved around to find his cane, and he paniced ever so slightly when he couldn't find it near. he needed his cane here in town, or he couldn't walk straight and people would ask questions, and what if they found  the blade hidden in it?

His body was ridged as his hand moved faster to look for the cane, still waiting for the other to get off of him. most would have pushed the other off, but he was a gentleman and wasn't so rude as to do that to another

-----------------------------------------------
I thought it was early morning (should a specified) and he had killed during the early hours while it was still dark. he knows not to tread on toes of things bigger than him ^^;

Sonic blinked as he was handed his cane and relaxed a little, sighing softly and saying than you. however, he went ridged again as the other picked up on his slip of the tongue.

damn.

however, he smiled either way, clutching his cane comfortably in his hands.

"I have my ways.....just as you had your way with helping me up, of which I'm thankful for. But lets not call on such things in public....and in broad day light. Like I said, people are staring at us my dear." He chuckled softly. "Let's move. I've got enough people unhappy with me." he chuckled and began moving through the crowd. "follow if ya want." he murmured, easily navigating through the crowds.

he was used to weaving through crowds with the ease of a snake. his cane taed lightly along the conrete softly as he moved, the smile gone from his face. he was a little mad at himself for that slip up. he couldn't afford things like that...slip ups kill people. he also wondered if tha girl was following or not...

Sonic felt the other catch up to him and keep ace easily enough and he looked back to see how close the other was to him.

"Most call me Sonic....Let's leave it at that, yeah?" He asked, cane lightly tapping the ground in front of him as he walked around the people, being careful not to walk into anyone again. He didn't articularly want to get flattened again....Or worse, run into someone he doesn't want to run into in particular....like any gang members. He didn't need them knowing he was an active agent that, in essence, worked against them.

Being solo had it's draw backs of little to no protection from the gangs.

"Yes.....a Café sounds wonderful 'Shade'. I doneed to eat." He murmured, keeping polite. He didn't trust this one, but hey, what harm could it do? They were both curious about the other's Gifts....

"It's dangerous on the streets for me right now....kinda need to lay low for now..." Zach said, occasionally tapping his cane harder on the ground to get a clearer picture of where he was going. "Would you like to suggest a place?" He asked, looking back at the other

Sonic smiled a tiny smile at the girl. "It of both. Best to not be seen." He murmured before letting the other over take him.

He flinched slightly when the other grabbed his wrist, but took a mental steadying breath to calm himself again. He was stronger than what he used to be, so he didn't have to worry so much about another's intention when they grab him. He knew exactly how to handle himself.

Sighing softly, he kept looking around as the other guided them through the crowds; curious as to where they were going. he began adding details to a mental map he had of the area, while also keeping an eye out for the similar shape of a police officer of some kind, or anyone that he would rather stay out of the line of sight of.

What can he say? He was cautious, and he had minimal perception of day and night, so to him, every minute that he was alive was a threat to him. Anything could attack him at any time, so he was constantly vigilant. He couldn't understand why people seemed to relax so much during the apparent Day Light Hours. He only had time to tell him that, and even then, he wasn't good at telling it for many reasons due to his blindness, even with his abilities.

Sonic let himself be dragged over to a booth in the restaurant that they entered and sat down carefully, laying his cane right next to him.

"It's fine. I can smell what others are eating, and the Pancakes smell awesome, so I think I'll have some of those with ice cream and maple syrup." Sonic snickered softly, reaching into a pocket to pull out a pair of dark shades. He guessed that the other would wonder why a sightless person would need them, so he looked over at her with unnerving accuracy.

"The glasses hide my eyes from public view. When people are sitting and eating, they tend to look around and notice more. Especially if they're here alone." Sonic explained softly, folding his arms on the table, idly adjusting the bandages around his forearms that he used as supports of sort when climbing up building walls.

"So...What do you plan on asking me Shade?" He said after a pause, flicking his blue lazy hawk out of his eyes. Behind his shades, they were trained directly on the other, the shades darkness hiding this fact. Unless the other directly asked him the right questions, he wouldn't tell her anything about his....abilities or what he did.

Sonic smiled softly. It was a good first question as any.

"My ability is essentially Echo Location. I 'see' using sound. So I'm able to locate where others around around me, and if the sound is clear enough, I can see features on people's faces. Also, my 'Range' is 50m so I can see everyone in the Diner and tell you what they're doing. For example, the man sitting with a woman and a young girl, most likely a family, are eating and having quiet chatter, smiling at their daughter. He's sitting at roughly 1 o'clock from out position." He murmured, not giving the full details on his Abilities.

He knew how to keep his cards close to his chest.

"And if you're wondering why I'm tense, I always am. I have no real perception of Night and Day, so i assume they're one and the same. Anyone, if they're daring enough, can break the 'Do it only at night' Rule. I prefer being alert all the time instead of Ignorant half of the time." Sonic chuckled softly as he idly tapped his fingers on the table, his voice and the tapping being enough for him to see the other's features and expression. Sure there were the noises from the Diner, but it was low unclear noises, in essence, because of how jumbled it was and didn't give him clear images.

"What I see sitting before me is a very pretty young woman with quite feminine features. a fringe that falls into your face and you're wearing goggles so I can't see the shape of your eyes. Yo're also wearing a thick hoody as well." Sonic said with a tiny smile. "You're also rather delicate looking, but that might just be due to the hoody making you seem smaller." He added with a tiny chuckle.

"But yeah....It may seem paranoid, but when you've never seen what others see on a daily basis, can can't distinguish a person's face half of the time, you get paranoid. Also, It'll possibly be.....problematic for any of the Merc Gangs to get wind of my activity. I'm a Freelance as it were. We'll leave it at that." He murmured as their food came around and easily picked up the cutlery and began eating slowly, making sure of where his food was.

"As for the Hair? an Old friend suggested it to me. He said I looked good in blue. I don't know as I don't even know what Blue is. " He said with a shrug. "Apparently, there's lots of odd fashions out there, and looking to normal may make me stand out a little too much. I don't know. Like I said, I've no concept of colour, so he could have told me to dye my hair some embarrassing colour or something. I could look ridiculous but fit in right now for all I know. I guess I had to put a little faith in him." Sonic explained, eating more of his pancakes, enjoying the sweet taste from the syrup and cream.

Sonic smiled and bowed his head at her, eating a few more bites of his food, being ravenously hungry. due to lack of jobs, he'd been rashening his food. Don't get him wrong, he had plenty of money, but it was all funding for future weapons, and helping to pay off the final few payments of the flat he'd bought. He knew how to prioritise his life.

He briefly looked up at her, caution clear on his face. "Aye.....I wouldn't want to encounter them. I'm not big enough to attract too much attention.....But I may have done enough to irritate some of the gangs because of what I do." he murmured, begin vague about details.

Though he liked the girl, she seemed sweet, he didn't trust her even a little and was braced to run for it at the first sign of danger.

"So....Your ability. How does it work? When you helped me up, I felt some assistance from something, but i couldn't 'see' what it was. It's not solid, but acts like a solid." He asked, waving over a waitress and asking for a coffee after he spoke. He'd leave a good tip in order to ensure her silence in case she heard anything.

"I see. That's actually fairly useful. It'd be nice if I could utilise something like that." Sonic murmured, sipping his coffee, black no sugar. He briefly thought how he could use it and chuckled softly to himself. It would make his life a little easier.

However, his little finger on his left hand twitched, the only sign showing his hesitation before speaking. He didn't want to talk about this in particular.

"Things that aren't too legal." Was all he said, the finality in his tone showing his unwillingness to talk about that topic. He didn't know the girl well enough, nor did he want to risk others around him hearing, to tell her. He'd only talk about it if she gave an idea to what she did herself.

Taking another bite of his pancakes, he idly licked some syrup that got on his thumb as he thought.

"So what set back does you.....abilities have? Mine is my blindness from birth. How does yours effect you?" He asked, moving the topic along smoothly.

Sonic looked the other over, evaluating the other as best he could, lightly tapping his glass to get a clearer picture.

"It seems we may be in the same business darling." He murmured gently, suspicion just about heard in his voice. She seemed nice enough and sweet hearted...but that could just be a side of her not shown while working.

However, he perked up at the new information about the girl's abilities and their set backs.
"Ahh, so you essentially have the skin and sensitivity of an Albino. Now I can't tell if you're actually Albino, so if you are, I'm sorry if I just insulted you in any way. But yeah, that's a particularly annoying set back. I imagine Summer is and awkward time of year." He murmured, finishing off his food.

He kept his ears peeled for anyone that may have gone silent as they listened in on their conversation, and didn't feel too comfortable when he discovered that some near by tables were looking directly at them, tapping his cane to get a good idea on their location. The intent he felt from them didn't feel particularly good either.

Sonic sighed and stood up, leaving money for his meal on the table. "Perhaps I can suggest somewhere....with less people? The place is getting terribly crowded, and the amount of noise is throwing me off balance." He murmured gently. He definitely wasn't a fan of closed in noisy spaces with lots of people.

"I see. Shall we head to a Park? It's open enough that people won't stop and listen in like here. But it's public enough and big enough to not have something happen. There's a 'Night Life' Label....but not everything is totally solid if someone wants something enough." Sonic murmured, keeping his voice low so no one could listen in too easily.

He let the other take his arm, quickly clicking onto the other's plan of making it seem like he was completely blind.
Sonic held onto his cane tighter and held it out a little way ahead of him as he let Shade guide him out of the restaurant.

"So you burn a lot quicker than considered normal? That must be a royal pain...." He said with a light chuckle, gently letting go of the other once they were outside, still not one hundred percent comfortable with people touching him.

He still had issues to deal with that he didn't want to get into just now.
